Last Man at the Party lyrics

Sister Bridget by the stair

A glass of wine and she's almost there

Cousin Jimmy at the door

Another beer and he's on the floor

Friends and neighbours come around

Waste no time we're heaven-bound

But not before we raise a glass to good camaraderie

Stinky Joe from down the street

Fell right over his own three feet

He's doubled up in the outside loo

To taste again the devil's brew

Friends and neighbours come around

Waste no time we're heaven-bound

But not before we raise a glass to good camaraderie

So make yourselves jolly under mistletoe, holly and ivy

Get to it – and be in good cheer

And when it's all over: pigs gone to clover

Will the last man at the party wish me a happy New Year?

The house is jumping, suppers up

Curried goat in a paper cup

Forks of plastic, knives of tin

Who cares what state the goat is in?

Someone with the gift of song

Has brought his pal to sing along

Now they're turning up old Frank Sinatra on the stereo

So make yourselves jolly under mistletoe, holly and ivy

Get to it – and be in good cheer

And when it's all over: pigs gone to clover

Will the last man at the party wish me a happy New Year?

Sister Bridget by the stair

A glass of wine and she's almost there.

Cousin Jimmy at the door

Another beer and he's on the floor

Friends and neighbours come around

Waste no time we're heaven-bound

But not before we raise a glass to good camaraderie

So make yourselves jolly under mistletoe, holly and ivy.

Get to it – and be in good cheer

And when it's all over: pigs gone to clover

Will the last man at the party wish me a happy New Year?

So make yourselves jolly under mistletoe, holly and ivy

Get to it – and be in good cheer

And when it's all over: pigs gone to clover

Will the last man at the party wish me a happy New Year?
